He is as competent to fake it as you are.” Mr, Vilas, with the book of rules in hand, insisted that the rule was plain that a esolution must lie over for a day, in order { Seastors might inform themselves on it. Mr. Hill answered that the rule did not apply when the merits of the question had been gore Into. The Vice President suggested that he was ready to rule on the question, although he Wes glad to hear from the Senators. Senator Palmer asked for specific infor- mation as to whether the chair had spe- ically stated to the Senate tne question sivirg uranimous consent. The Vice esident sald he would cover the inquiry in his general ruling, and he thereupon be- nm his ruling, amid a deep stiliness throughout the chambe The Vice President read that resolutions animous » th the rule providing Md le over for u day consent were given to question at once. The purpose was evidently to permit Senators m themselves on a resolution. In sent case, the Vice President said, the question of granting unanimous consent had not been clearly understood by the Sen- ate. One Senator had stated he had not heard the request for unanimous consent. The Vice President's Kuling. “Under these circumstance concluded the V President, “I should be reluctant to have the resclution immediately con- sidered when Senators objected to it.” When the Vice President by these re- marks having ruled Mr. Hill's resolution out of order agein put the question and asked if there were any objection to the present consideration of the Hill resolution Mr. Gray said “I object. ‘ the resolution will Ife over under for one day,” said the Vice Pres- unless » moment,” interposed Mr. Hill, who m raised the point that the resolu- tion was a matter of privilege and entitled to present consideration. He cited the re- port of the bribery investigation, which had been decided to be privileged. All the mat- ters growing out of the conference on the tariff were matters of privilege. Mr. Mills of Texas took the ground that Mr. Hill had mistaken the matter of privi- lege. The conference had full privilege at any time, but not @ resolution of the kind Mr. Hill offered. Mr. Hill maintained that the committee had no further privilege than the Senate over such matters. Mr. Mills said the conference committee or a member of it might offer such a resolu- tion and it would be privileged, but not When offered by another member of the Senate. Mr. White of California also took the same view as Mr. Mills. Again Overruled by the Vice rresi- dent. Senator Vest asked that the resolution be reported. The clerk thereupon read the res- elution and the Allison amendment. The Vice President thereupon overruled Mr. Hill's second point that the resolution was privileged, and directed that it He over until tomorrow, Mr. Vest Makes Some HKemarks. It was thought that the incident was clesed, but Mr. Vest secured recognition and proceeded with another stirring chap- ter. “I wish to say,” said he, with much im- 2 potas ‘that I am heartily in favor the resolution of the Senator from New York, and when it comes before the Senate tomorrow I shall take occasion to make a statement to the Senate, which can be done Without viclation of the confidence of t conference. It is time, I think, that the calcium light of truth be shed on the work Of the couference, and that the calumnies end false issues which have been heaped upon the conference and sent broadcast over the country be dispelled. With this erd in view I will, when the resolution is considered tomorrow,speak of the infamous Kes which have been invented and circulat- ed as to the work of the conferees on the Mr.Vest had spoken with Mmtense earnest- ness, and it was a marked contrast when Senator Hill arose, bland and smiling, and suggested: “Perhaps the Senator would like to free his mind new.” “I am ready at any time,” declared Mr. Vest, cach word exploding like a fire- cracker. Mr, Hoar asked If he meant that the can- ferees on either side could not report with- Out the consent of the other. Mr. Harris replied that both conferees were co-equal, and one house could not compel the other to report. Information m‘ght be requested. Mr. irieits nt: Mewemrent Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island then exe- @uted a flank movement by calling up tne Tesolutiva olicrea by nenatur Adieu yester- day. It was unimportant, but it gave Mr. Aldrich the floor, and he claimed the Allen resolution was morning business. Mr. Gray was on his fect. He wanted an executive session. The crowds that had thronged the galleries and the members of the House who had come over to see the bat- tle all left the chamber. Considerable time was consumed by the Vice President in Jaying before the Senate a large amount of House business, but Mr. Aldrich heid his Place, and smiled at the press gallery. He moved to strike out all after the word “Resolved,” and insert the modified resolu- tion of Mr. Hill. Mr. Berry of Arkansas made the point that the resolution was not in order, but the Vice President said it was before the Senate. Mr. Pasco of Florida made the point that the resolution was submitted several days ego and was not before the Senate. Mr. Gorman said he and Senator Sherman had requested Mr. Allen to ulow the resolu- ton to go over and not lose its place. Fighting for Time. ‘The opponents of the resolution were fight- ing for time, as tie morning hour would expire at 2 o'clock, and perhaps the resolu- tion would go over. The record was read, shoving how the resolution weut over. Mr. Aldrich expressed surprise that the genticmen on the other side should be so e@gitated over this question. They were trying \ “filibuster it out of sight.” The gountry wanted information. The Senator from Missouri (Vest) had expressed his wil- Ungness to tell the truth and the Senator from Tennessee (Harris) had aiso indicated @ desire to proceed. There should be no filibuster to keep the country in further suspense. : The presiding officer ruled that the Allen Fesolutioa was properly before the Senate at the present time. I submit,” interposed Mr. Mills, “that the amendment of the Senator from Khode island is Lot germane to the original reso- Jution.” Mr. Mills argued the point at some length. Mr. Hill's Questi Mr. Hill made the inquiry: “Is the amendment not as germane as it Is for a Senator to discuss the Chinese question in @ tariff speech.” Mr. Mills answered that it was the un- fortunate condition of affairs in the Sen- gte that Senators could talk on any sub- Ject at any tlme and in any way. Mr. Hill said che amendment was permissible as Jong as tt was pertinent im the judgment of @ Senator. There was no positive rule on the subject. The practice relating to germane amend- ments was disoussed by Senator Platt and Senatur Faulkner. The latter sald it was beyond the wer of the Senate to take e tar! bill away from the conference. he House as well as the Senate conferees had pcesession of the bill, and it would be @ breach of the rights of the House for the Senate to undertake to direct Its confer- ees to return the bill to the Senate. Senatur Harris said he hoped the decen- cles of parliamentary procedure would be observed. The resolution of Mr. Hill had one over for one day and the same reason Would send this resolution and amendment over until tomorrow, until the Senators, could inferm themselves on the subjec Mr. Teller said the poiat of “germane” had never in his recollection been raised in the Senate. It was not a rule of general parliamentary law ani certainly was not the rule under the liberal procedure of the Senate. Mr. Cockrell contended that the Aldrich amendment was practically a new resolu- tion and should therefore go over as a Fesolution. The Time Expired. At this point the hands of the clock pointed to 2 p.m., the morning hour expired and the exciting Incident was summarily closed. The Senate then went into executive ses- ston. | this witness to preve the charg LATE NEWS BY WIRE| Staples’ Testimony Admitted in the Goodman Trial. HE RELATES WHAT HIS WIFE TOLD HIM ee Basis of the Charges Made by Col. Parsons. eee DOMESTIC COMPLICATION (elit cacarggiaio Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. COVINGTON, Va., August 10.—When court convened this morning at 10 o'clock the same curious crowd was present to witness the trial of Capt. Thos, A. Good- man for the murder of Col. H. C. Par- sons on June 2 last. Judge Moore admitted the testimony of J. A. Staples, the section master at Spring- wood station on the R. and A. ratflroad, over whica there was a fight between op- posing counsel yesterday afternoon. The Prosecution sought in the introduction of of im- morality on the part of Goodman preferred by Parsons in his letter to the C. and O. Staples testified that his wife informed him that Goodman had made a proposition to her to run away with him. It dev@oped-on cross-exe mination that the Phelps woman referred to by Goodman in his reply to Parson's charges, as an objec- tionable character, and whom he on one occasion, put off his train for not having a ticket, is a niece of Staples, the witness. Mr. Parrish, for the defense, tried to show that the elder Phelps woman and_ her daughter Katle were at the bottom of the trouble between witness’ wife and Good- man, and they were the real mischief mak- ers. The defense claims that it was the de- sire of the Phelps woman to cause a sepa- ration between Staples and his wife and for this reason stirred up this strife be- tween them. When Staples concluded his tesUmony at 0, a recess Was takea until 2 p.m. Mrs, Staples and Mrs. Phelps will prob- ably be placed upon the stand today. Du Ing Staples’ testimony the defense put in evidence two letters from Goodman to Staples, in which he indignantly denied the charges and suggested that the Phelps wo- men were responsible for the troubles. —— 4 - SECRET POLITICAL It Has Oaths and Passwords and Wilt Fight for Free Silver. DENVER, Col., August 10.—A special to the News from Los Angeles announces the formation of a new secret political order. The name of the order is the United Sons of America, and its emblem is the stars and stripes and the letters U. S. A. The or- ganization is loyal, patriotic, political, na- tional and non-sectarian. It is secret, and has signs, passwords, &c. Its constitution provides for complete city, county, con- gressional and national organization, and | makes ample provisions for funds necessary to carry out and maintain this plan of organization and for conducting its cam- paigns. Its promoters are all strong silver men, and the order will make a hard fight for | the free coinage of silver. It will indorse such candidates of all parties as are in full accord with its principles, and where these | are lacking it will nominate candidates of its own. The prineiples of the order d mand the enactment and enforcement of laws for the equal protection of labor and capital, and for the arbitration of all differ- ences between employer -and employe, de- claring against the importation of cheap foreign labor and against national banks | of issue, and call for the absolute control by the government of all railroad and tele- ORDER. graph lines. | The order contains among its members the best business men and citizens of south- ern California. W. H. Holt, who is the “father” and president of the order, is an old newspaper man, and dyed-in-the-wool republican, who has never sought and does not seek office. Another of its officers is Lionel Sheldon of Pasadena, formerly gov- ernor of New Mexico, member of Congrss. The other offices are filled by men of equal prominence. —_—-_— BIG WINE SYNDICATE. Control Eighty Per Cent of the Caltfornia Crop. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. August 10.—The big wine syndicate which has been formed here will control 8 per cent of the grape pro- duct of California for the next five years. Its formation doubles thevalue of the crop,as the present price of grapes Is $5 a ton, while the syndicate agrees to pay not less than $10 a ton. Seven houses are in the syndicate and more will probably be admitted svon. The capital stock of the company is ten millions, of which $400,000 have been sub- seribed. The houses traasfer ail the assets to the syndicate, but each will preserve its integrity, keeping its labels, trade marks and brands, while doing business as part of the syndicate. All of the business wiil be done under the supervision of the board of @ireciors. One branch of the business will be to advance $2.500,000 annually to vineyardists for expenses in cultivating vines, gathering grapes and making wines. it is probable that later a central depot will be established for the storage of wines and brandies: The place of business of the syndicate is to be San Francisco and the term of business fifty years. This move on the part of the wine men of California is expected to revive the languishing industry of the state and make wine brewing piotit- able. At @ meeting of wine growers, H. E. Pres- ton, president of the association recently formed to organize a trust, embracing ail the wine growing interests of the state, re- ported that seven of the leading wine mer- chants had sigred articles of incorporation and fcrwarded them to the secretary of state at Sacrarrento. The company is now prepared to treat with the committee of seven wine growers recently appointed to secure options on the grape crop of the state. a BECOME ‘TINPLATE WORKS. Change to Be Made Olivers’ Plan’ PITTSBURG, Pa. August 10.—General Manager David B. Oliver of the Oliver Iron and Steel Company is authority for the statement that the South [5th street plant of the company will soon be turned into one of the largest and perhaps the finest tin plate works in the world. The deal will be largely governed by thé tariff settlement and {s to be operated by a company of east- rh gentlemen. é “TThe capital stock, It is said, will be $500,- 000, It is exoected that the plant will be in operation in a few months. —s CAPT. KOLB’S SCHEME. To Join With the Populists and set Up Another Government, MEMPHIS, Tenn., August 10.—A special from Montgomery, Ala., says: The Kolbite and populist committees have been in ses- ston for two days. Late last evening the meeting, which had been held behind closed doors, adjourned. Capt. Kolb made the statement, after the meeting, so it is learned on reliable author- ity, that he proposed to go to Montgomery when the time comes and be sworn in as governor. It ts the plan of the Kolbites to set up a dual government. Part of the scheme 1s to invite all popu- lists elected to the regular legtslature to go into a “rump” legislature, which the Kolbites will set up. Other members will be poputist legislative candidates whom Kolb claims were counted out. “Se Drowned tn Lake Mic! ST. JOSEPH, Mich., August 10.—Miss Bernie Maye: and Miss Bainhart, two mem- bers of a purty of resorters, were drowned in Lake Michigan, near Stevensville, yes- terday. The life-saving crew were unable to rescue them, One of the IN THE HOUSE TODAY Disagresing Conference Report on the Sun- ; dry Civil Bill. Conferees Instructed to Insist on the ‘Two! IMsngreements Except Business Transacted. 2 The question whether a member of the House may cr'ticise a cabinet officer on the floor was raised in the House today, but left undecided. It appeared upon the Journal for yesterday that Mr. Boutelle of Maine had been called to order by Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio for criticising the means taken by Secretary Gresham to announce the recognition of the Hawailan republic by the President, ana Mr. Grosvenor of Ohto inquired whether the Speaker in sustaining | Mr. Outhwaite’s point of order had in- tended to be understood as ruling that it was not In order for a member to assail a cabinet officer. The Speaker replied that he had merely ruled that Mr. Boutelle was departing from the question of privilege, to which he had risen, so Mr. Grosvenor refrained from pressing the tter further. Senate amendments to the bills to provide for the opening of certain abandoned mili- tary reservations, placed under the control of the Secretary of the Interior by the act of July 5, 1884, and to authorize purchasers of the property and franchises of the Choc- taw Coal and Railway Company to organize @ corporation, and to confer ail the powers and p es of the old company upon it, was agreed to. The Senate bill si anting to the Northern Pacifle Ratlroad Company right of way through the Indian reservation in Min- nesota was passed and the House bill for the same purpose laid on the table. Sandry Civil Hill Disagreement. Chairman Sayers of the appropriations committee reported & disagreement of the Senate and House conferees on the sundry elvil bin. Representative Oates, the democratic gov- ernor-elect of Alabama, entered during the | reading and was greeted with applause as he waiked to his desk, which adorned with roses, In explanation of the report said thi Mr. Sayers | Senate amendments amounted to | that the Senate had receded from: . the House had agreed to $14 } and that no agreement had been reach- on $621,080, The House ratified the ed . agreements which had been made, and dis- cussed the amendments oa which there was still a disagreement. Mr. Cannon (Ill) | made a plea for the appropriation for the | Atlanta exposition, but was informed by Mr. Livingston (Ga.) that an independent | bill for that object was on the calendar | which would soon be called up. | The Senate amendment to pay $5,000 to | the helrs of each victim of the Ford's | Theater disasier was supported by Mr. | Raker (N. H.), who asserted that. there | eculd be no doubt that these people lost their lives through the fault of the govern- ment officers, “That is a question,” responded Mr. Sey ers, and he added that the House should | be given an opportunity to consider the validity of the claims. Insist on All Except ‘TW On motion of Mr. Sayers the House con- | ferees were instructed to instst upon their disagreement to all disputed Senate amend- | ments except those providing $150,000 for a) government exhibit and $50,000 for a wov- ernment building for the cotton states ex- 1 sition at Atlanta. Mr. Cannon offered resolution to substitute for these amend- | ments the substance of the House bill, which provided the same appropriation. Mr. Can- ron sald that he had been urged not to support the appropriation because Georgia and North Carolina are the only states which had not made exhibits at the | Chicago exposition. He had no animosity on this account, however, nor had he any constitutional seruples against government aid for such projects He opposed the Senate amendments be- cause they Incurred a responsibility for the general government which might result In an outlay of half @ million to carry out ob- ligations to foreign nations, as had been the case with the New Orleans exposition. ‘Then the House entered upon an hour's de, bate upon the question of aid for the expo! sition, see a DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, Local Legisintion, There was no meeting of the District committee of the Senate today owing to / the absence of a quorum. It is prob- able that there will be no further meetings of this committee this session, as the Senate managers of local business feel that they have obtained action upon about all of the local measures that can be passed this ses- fon. In fact, there are few bills now on the calendar either gf the Senate or of the committee that requife immediate passage. | Ail the street railway legislation has been | put through that there is any demand for, | and aside from the dill for a municipal | building, that for a free public library and that providing for an issue of bonds for street and sewer improvements there is nothing now pending which seems to merit or need action at this time. At all events the Senate committecmen realize that it Is next to impossible to get the bills through the Senate in the present disturbed state of affairs, particularly as it is out of the question to obtain a quorum on any exclusive proposition. Mount Vernon Raiirond. In the House today the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railway bill, with the Senate amendments, came up for action. Mr. Heard asked concurrence in the Senate amendments, but at the sugges~ tion of several members the matter was passed over until tomorrow, in order to permit the bill to be printed, ‘so as to show the Senate amendments in ‘detatl. ——-o-——____ DL TOPICS. To Prevent Free Use of Public ‘Timber, One of the most important measures of this Congress from the public lands com- mittee is Mr. McRae's bill to prevent the free use of timber on public lands, which that committee agreed upon yesterday. The bili repeals the acts of 1891 regulat- ing the cutting of timber, and that of 18% geverning prosecutions for yiolations of the law, and provides that hereafter it shall be unlawful to grant permission to any persons or corporations to cut timber free of charge. Nothing in the act fs to prevent the Secretary of the Interior from permitting, under proper restrictions, the use of stone and timber free to bona fide settlers or mineral prospectors for fire- wood, fencing or building purposes. The committee struck out the clause re- voking ail permits already granted by the Interior Department. To Investigate Judge Kicks. Chairman Culberson of the House ju- diclary committee today announced Repre- sentatlves Batley, Lane and Broderick as a committee to investigate the Judge Ricks controversy. “Secretary Cartiste at the Capi Secretary Carlisle visited the House of Representatives today, but gave his en- tire attention to pending differences on the CAP sfindry civil appropriation bill, not re- ferring to the tariff. : Mr. Uates’ Reception, The appearance of Congressman Oates upon the floor of the House this morning was the signal for a prolonged outburst of applause. He has been elected governor of Alabama and his colleagues were demon- strating their pleasure over his good for- tune. : exe ‘Treaty. The Senate immediately after going into executive session today took up the Chi- nese treaty. There is a great desire on the part of the Senators favoring the treaty to have it disposed of before adjournment. 2 WHEELING TOWARD DENVE: Progress of the Relay Riders Througn lowa.

The unexpected turn of the tariff affairs In the Senate brought out much comment from members of the House, and with few exceptions It was fayorable to the move urged by Senators Hill and Aldrich for get- ting the bill out of, conference. Several leeding members of the House sald they would urge similar resolutions in the House if the rules would permit. It was believed, however, that unanimous consent would be required, and this could not be hoped for. One of the House conferees said at the close of the exciting Senate debate that {f the Senators were anxious to kill the tariff bill they had chosen the right course in Porting the Hill resolution. This conf: expressed doubt whether the — confer Would reassemble today cr pending the é tion of the Senate on the Hill and Aldrich resolutions, A Disagreement Expected Some discussion occurred among the after the Senate went Into executiy session, and the opinion was expre=sed that tcmorrow a disagreement would be rted It was said that the Senate conferees left the conference room today feeling that no other course but a disagreement was pos- sible. pMOrrow. oe A STORY DENL 2D. ident ix Not Going: Branch Sunday. ch from Asbury F the President and Secretar The rk fer the report, and that the Pr no intention of going to Long Br: day or any other time.

The men he has selected are among the best known in the country, and thieves will have a hard time of it in Pittsburg. The famous “Bob” Pinkerton is also to be here to give his assistance in the work of protecting the city from the thieving fra- ternity. Superintendent O'Mara wants them here several days before it begins, so that they can look over the city, and all have a con- sultation as to the pian of work. The most of the thieves will not see Pitts- burg. Some wiil not even leave the cities in which they are now. Some days before the encampment aed during it detectives will meet tratns at various points, go through them and give warning to the thleves they find thereon to turn home- ward. There will be a picked crowd of officers at the various depots to watch for those who may have escaped detection on the trains. Short shift is to be made of those, who, despite the utmost vigilance, will get into the city. As soon as any person, man or woman, known 4s thief, is recognized by the visiting or local detectives he will not be told to get out of the city, but will be immediately placed where he can neither ply his work nor see the big parade. With these precautions taken Superin- tendent O'Mara believes that there will be less thieving iu Pittsburg during encamp- ment week than in any city in which an encampment has been held. “In fact,” he said, “I think thieving in Pittsburg durin: encampment will be reduced to a minimum. _ BROKEN HY ConA. rain Caused a Cni- cago Firm's Failure. CHICAGO.,August 10.—The board of trade firm of Booge, Frazer & Company assigned today. The fluctuations of the corn market and the failure of the Hawkeye Commis ton Company of Omaha is believed to have caused the failure. Booge and Frazer were officers and heavy stockholders of the Hawkeye company. The grain markets today were decidedly quieter and steadier than they have been during the past few days; in fact, they ap mar to have about resumed their norm condition. A feature of today’s trading was the strong preference which speculators showed for the May future over Septem- ber, the latter being comparatively neglect- ed, and the former becoming the leading option. There was a straggling shower here this morning, which gave the market temporary weak turn; but it railied again on firm cables, reports of no rains in the — belt and high temperature yesterday, with hot winds. Another factor in the firmness was country buytng, though the orders from that source were not so uni- form as heretofore, some being to sell. September corn opened I-éc. lower at 56 1-2c., advanced to 56 3-4c., reacted to the opening price, rallied to outside figure: again and eased off to 567-sc. play opened l-bc. off at 54, eased off to 53 3-4c., rallied to Sf l-Sc., broke on realizing sales to 58 T-Nc., Tose to 54 8-Sc., but fell away again to 58 3-4e. Wheat showed a more independent ten- dency and was not so closely sympathetic with corn as it has been for the past week. Liverpool was 1-2 penny higher, and the market here responded readily to buying orders. September opened unchanged to i-2c. higher at D61-2 a Sie; sold off to 36 1-4c. and rallied to 453-4 @ 56 7-8e. Oats Still followed corn, selimg at 32 1-4 @ 32 1-2c. against 32 1-2c. at yesterday's close. Provisions were firm and slightly higher, short ribs showing the most activity and strength, with an advance of 5c. WILL PURSLE STRIKER LEAKS, A Southera Pacific Official Would Ku Them Out of the State. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 10.—The Examiner sa: General Superit.tendent Fillmore of the Southern Pacific was asked today whethe: the company is preventing members of the American Railway Union who engaged in the recent strike from get- ting employment of any kind. Mr. Fill- more said: “We have no use for men who engaged in the late strike and will not en- courage them in any way.” “Suppose the strikers should obtain other employment, would your company go out of its way to have them discharged?” was asked. “Yes,” answered Mr. Fillmore, “if I know that @ man was not true to his company, and if I find out that he has got a Job an: where I will pursue him and use my best efforts to get him discharged. These fel- lows who killed our engines, destroyed our property and murdered our employes shall never earn bread and butter in California if I can help it. Those men who did not take any active part tn the strike I have no bitter feelings against. When we need their help we will hire them in, for wa do not consider they are together tc blame, but for those who led the strikers we have no such consideration. I have nc use for fellows of tat kind and do not inx tend that they shall make @ living as long as they are within my reach.” _—-- THE SALVADOREAN REFLGEEs. Cla f Their Attorneys That They Are Wrongtatty Detatnea. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 10.—Gan- zalie de Nuesado and Mr. Rubens, the at- torneys of New York engaged to defend the recent vice president of Salvador, An. tonio Ezeta, Gen. Colecho, Gea. Kolonos and Lieut. Col. Cienfugos, aboard the Ben- nington, have arrived here. They expect the Bennington to arrive tomorrow. The attorneys give their version of the case with what they expect to do as follows: “The vice president and his three officers tock refuge oa the U. 8. S. Bennington of La Libertad, they say. “They asked afterward to be transferred to one of the steamers of the Pacific Mail ‘Company, but the Wisional government, at the head of which were their enemies, made an official deman¢ on the United States for them, charging them with com- mon crimes. Th did this because no other charge could be trumped up, for the Ezetas and their followers had been de- feated while trying to uphold the then ex- isting government and suppress a rebel- lion, “The government had then not yet been recognized by the United States gov- ernment as a lawful government,and there. fore could not entertain the demand. The Warrent was legally issued. “We will claim the ex-vice president and the officers are detained unlawfully agains. their will. This will bring out the theory of the detention, and it will develop one of the two things—elther the United States ig holding them absolutely without warrant, or eise it has recognized the government and issued the warrant. “The latter course has not been taken, so far as we have heard. We were to be noti- fied by the Washington authori- ties In case anything was done. “On the arrival of the ship here with the refugees aboard, we will make a formal de. mand for them, and the hearing, we pro- sume, will take place in the United States cirevit court. We hold that there ts no other side to be considered, under all the circumstances, and, therefore, question the right of the Salvadorean government,which is not yet recognized, to make a plea here— that is to say, to be ited by an at- Wee attorneys for Antonio Ezeta and the officers say that even should this position. with its ramifications, be unlawful, which they do not admit, they have vet other grounds on which to be heard before the refugees could be sent back. To send them back, they say, Would simply result in their death. Want a Division. Helen Connors and John F.
